A Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, again I must apologise for not posting any posts on here for a week, but its been a busy week yet again and I was hoping to announce the birth of my first great grandchild but my poor granddaughter in law is still holding on, though the midwife said yesterday that she is now 2cm dilated and it should be here in the next couple of days and if not shes booked in for an induction on Saturday at 2pm so I do hope she has it before then, but I will keep you informed.
Todays card was for this weeks "Never seen Ink" and I have actually used two stamps that I have never used before and the first one I used was the background one which is all over sentiment stamp, and then I wrapped a brown ribbon around the bottom and stuck to the back of the first mount which is brown, the image was stamped onto yet another piece of white card then cut out with my rotatrim and this was then mounted on yet another piece of brown card, this was then placed in the middle towards the top.
To finish of I used some of the brown card to create the poinsetta's at the bottom and then with some yellow stickles in the middle and placed them on some punched out leaves (which are all Nellie punches) and stuck them to the bottom of the card on the left hand side.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.co.uk/http://craftyribbonschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/http://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/http://www.ladyanneschallenges.com/stamp-challenge.htmlhttp://craftingbydesigns.blogspot.co.uk/http://7kidschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/

About Me

Hi, My name is Shirley, and Im a 75 year old wife and grandmother, Ive been papercrafting for about 12 years, but have always been into knitting, sewing embroidery, painting and drawing, anything I can get my hands on.
My husband who's now retired is long suffering man who fortunately encourages me in my craft and Im really grateful for that.
I have three daughters, and two step daughters, and between my husband and I we have 10 grandchildren, 4 girls and 6 boys and 3 great grandsons.
My eldest grandson is 38 and is in the RAF and Im so proud of him, hes married with two gorgeous little boys. Our other grandchildren range from 1 years upwards.
I also live in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester, its the most beautiful place and I love living here.
I sincerely hope you will enjoy looking at my attempts in craft making.
I should also explain the origin of my name Nannieflash, this is what my grandchildren call me for the obvious reason, Im forever taking photos of them, and now my step-daughter has been christened Mummyflash for the same reason.
